JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort is an upscale 664-room resort famous for it's sugary white sand beach and family-friendly water sports. The resort includes a spa, a fitness center, a kids' camp, and several restaurants. Outside, the North Pool has a small waterslide and fun kid's area. The resort does a nice job of catering to children's needs without alienating more sophisticated guests. Rooms and suites are lovely and have balconies, and the ocean views are spectacular. Still, with prices this high it seems stingy to charge a daily resort fee and additional fees for parking and Wi-Fi.

**This hotel was impacted by *Hurricane Irma* in September 2017. We will update our review as soon as we have more information.** The Olde Marco Island Inn and Suites is a mid-range condo-style hotel that dates back to the 19th-century and is located at the sleepy north end of Marco Island. Bright and spacious two-bedroom suites have fully-equipped kitchens and screened outdoor areas -- though interiors and maintenance can be inconsistent, and there's no daily housekeeping. There's no shortage of dining options -- including French fare and seafood -- while the pool area makes for a particularly pleasant spot to relax in the sun. Rates might feel a bit steep if not in a group, however, so check out the Marco Island Lakeside Inn for a better value option.

The 24-room, historic Boat House Motel is a family-owned, value property on Collier Bay, close to restaurants, bars, and Pelican Pier Marina. Quaint, old Florida-style rooms offer mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and microwaves, plus some have patios with seating and superb water views. However, the style is somewhat dated and some units don’t include housekeeping. The outdoor pool offers fantastic water views and there's a lovely sundeck and boat slips on-site (for a fee). Free Wi-Fi and parking are provided, and some units are pet-friendly (for a fee), but there is no elevator and there are minimum stay requirements (depending on the time of year). Travelers should note that they must book directly with the property to obtain boat slips or pet-friendly rooms. Travelers might also want to compare rates with the nearby Marco Island Lakeside Inn, which has a nicer pool and fresher rooms.

This no-frills lakefront property is a remodeled motel located in a quiet part of already sleepy Marco Island. It has 12 one- and two-bedroom suites, and seven studios, all with full kitchens (most with dishwashers), simple, beach-y decor (lots of white and wicker), and comfy beds. After renovations in 2011, all units now have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, free Wi-Fi, new tile floors, and Ralph Lauren sheets. There is a decent-size pool with a nice, shaded barbecue area, lounge chairs along the small lake, and an average restaurant on-site. All in all, it's a perfectly adequate pick for low-key couples who don't mind being a five-minute drive from the beach.
